The invention discloses Mg-Ni-La based composite
hydrogen-storage
alloy powder and a preparation process thereof. The Mg-Ni-La based composite
hydrogen-storage
alloy powder is composed of Mg-Ni-La
alloy strips and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and TiF3 catalysts. According to the Mg-Ni-La based composite
hydrogen-storage alloy
powder and the preparation process thereof, a melt rapid-
quenching technology is used, a melt is ejected by the aid of the
argon gas pressure and sprayed on surfaces of rotating smooth
copper rods, by the aid of the
quenching effect produced by the rotating
copper rods, alloy structures are refined, and channels such as grain boundaries / phase boundaries, which are beneficial to
diffusion of H atoms, are increased, so that amorphous /
nano crystalline alloys are prepared. According to the Mg-Ni-La based composite hydrogen-storage alloy powder, the MWCNTs and the TiF3 catalysts are added simultaneously,
rare earth La is added to improve the
phase composition of Mg-Ni alloys, the formation of a new phase is beneficial to
decomposition of H2 molecules on material surfaces and
diffusion of the H atoms in materials, and the
hydrogen absorption and
desorption dynamic performance of Mg2Ni alloys is greatly improved.
